Wedding Stylist Competition with Next: Win £500 in Vouchers

British High St giant Next have partnered with yours truly to launch their ‘wedding stylist’ competition. If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a fashion stylist, well now’s your opportunity… with your chance to win £500 of Next vouchers in the process!

To enter, simply create a post on your own blog (yep, you need to have your own to enter this particular contest) putting together some key looks using items on the Next website using a budget of £500 and link to the items you use within your post. They could be bridesmaid outfits, bridal looks, groom’s attire, kids outfits or ideas for guests. You could even do a set to suit a specific wedding theme or a complete mish-mash of styles. The choice is 100% yours! When your post is live, simply link to it in a comment below this article.

You know me, I want to see something unique and different so let your imagination run wild! You could create moodboards or style sheets, put outfits together using pictures, share links or use your social platforms to make your blog post as creative and original as possible. To get you started, I decided to put together some bridesmaid looks for a sparkly 1920s inspired flapper wedding…

You have until Midday on Friday 31st August to publish your article and post it here. After that date, I’ll choose my favourite and the lovely guys at Next will be in contact with the winner via email by 6th September.

This contest is now closed

This competition is only open to readers within the UK.

Good luck and happy styling!

I decided to style the wedding venue! Using something that looks old, something that would require the Bride to borrow some photographs, lots of somethings new and something blue. Well the wrapping on the trees are purple but if you squint, it looks blueish!

I’ve had such a wonderful time putting together my NEXT wedding inspiration Styled Post – Next have such great shoes and accessories I had so much fun playing around with my different storyboards!

My outfits are all under £500 and although they aren’t overly quirky, the message I wanted to transcend personally was that anyone of any age, shape and budget can feel confident and stylish getting dressed up for such a joyous occasion and that Next have so many options to suit everyone’s personality too.

Here is the link to my blog post – I hope you like it! I thoroughly enjoyed entering this competition and hope you have more styling collaborations in the future 🙂
